Official title: The Effect of Cold Application on the Hemostasis, Extremity Pain And Terumo Band Usage After Transradial Angiography

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

According to the World Health Organization data, approximately 17.9 million people die every year due to heart disease. 85% of these deaths are due to heart attack and blocked blood vessels. The Turkish Statistical Institute reports that circulatory system diseases took the first place among the causes of death with 38.4%, while ischemic heart diseases constituted 39.7% of these deaths in 2018. Transradial angiography is used for the purpose of scanning and treatment of coronary arteries both in Turkey and in other countries of the world.

Aim: After transradial angiography, Terumo (TR) band is used as a common device which is provides pneumatical hemostasis. This study aims to reduce usage time of the TR band, a decrease of hematoma formation and a reduction in the level of extremities pain experienced as a result of transradial angiography, thanks to using the TR band together with cold application.

This study aims to reduce usage time of the TR band, a decrease of hematoma formation and a reduction in the level of extremities pain experienced as a result of transradial angiography, thanks to using the TR band together with cold application.

Method: This study is planned to be carried out among the patients who apply for transradial angiography between 15.09.2022 and 15.01.2023 at Düzce University Health Application and Research Center. This study will consist of a control and two experimental groups. This study is planned to be done as a single blind randomised control trial and will use equal samples block randomisation design. The study is planned to comprise of 120 patients, 40 patients in each group, taking into account possible losses. Samples number is to be calculated via G-power 3.1.9.7 programme.

Patients who are in the control group will receive standard clinical care and pain level and hematoma condition will be recorded. In addition usage time of the TR band will be in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines and will be recorded with the help of a chronometer.

Study group I and group II patients will have cold application twice for a twenty minute period each time. For study group I extremity pain and hematoma will be followed and the TR band will be removed after one and a half hours.

Whereas, for study group II extremity pain and hematoma will be followed but the TR band will be removed in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines as in the control group.

Data accumulation methods: socio-demographic patient information form, the McGill pain measurement questionnaire and research tracking form will be used.

For pain the McGill pain measurement, for hematoma single use paper tape, for the TR band usage time will be recorded via a chronometer.

For study group I and II patients, cold ball (ISO BALL) application intervention will be carried out. ;
